Real life, on purpose.

Boys will be boys

in Uncategorized on 06/01/10

I spent Memorial Day watching several grown men (including my father) dam a creek with rocks and dirt, then dig a channel to redirect its flow…just for the heck of it. I realize that men are just big versions of little boys, and that digging and building and getting muddy is all good fun. But still. The seriousness with which… View Post

This is why I learned to knit

Cutest. Hat. Ever. It was a gift for my pregnant sister-in-law. The one who loves Studio Ghibli. Naturally. But I think I might need to make one for my hypothetical children. Because honestly? When I finally finished it (nearly a month after I started) I was giddy with how cute it was. I’ve never felt so proud of something I’ve… View Post

Instagram post 2186850998789034330_498987017 Two things:
1) You can eat whatever you want tomorrow. (You can eat whatever you want ALL the days, but Thanksgiving gets weird sometimes.) Food is not good or evil; it's just food. It fuels your body & brings you pleasure & you are not "bad" for "cheating" by having one more piece of pie. You don't have to restrict portions or go for a jog before/after dinner or promise to start a new diet to "earn" your mashed potatoes. Eat what sounds good. Eat till your body is satisfied. You'll have a much more enjoyable day if you let that diet mentality go. Promise. ❀️ 2) Since several people asked, I'm putting my pie crust recipe in my stories & saving it to the food highlight. It's super easy, in spite of what all my notes might indicate. Promise. πŸ₯§

It's been so fun to watch her progress in karate since she started in the summer. Punches & kicks & blocks, plus she knows A TON of words in Japanese now, which was unexpected and has been so cool! Who knows how much farther she'll want to go, but even if she quits right now, I'm just so proud of her. πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ‘§πŸΌ
